his name is michael farris with the home school legal defense association. one of the groups that lobbied hard against this treaty. here's what he said in a radio interview for the american family association. >> the definition of disability is not defined in the treaty, and so my kid wears glasses. now they're disabled. now the u.n. gets control over them. >> the idea that the treaty would give the u.n. vast control over the american children's lives and take away kids with glasses from their parents is just factually incorrect. it's just not true. in july, testifying before the foreign relations committee, former u.s. attorney general dick thornburgh pointed out that kind of stuff is just not true and wouldn't have an impact on u.s. law. mr. thornburgh is a republican. he's also the father of a disabled son. he joins me now. mr. attorney general, i appreciate you being here. the crux of the senator's argument really seems to be just because u.s. law hasn't ever been affected by u.n. treaty doesn't mean it couldn't happen some day. he says under article 6 o

you shouldn't be giving so much money to defense contractors. there are places to cut, but we can't have a discussion on where to cut because republicans have gotten themselves so far out on this one tiny issue. they want to fight and die on the hill, i think it's bad for them and bad for the country. >> anderson, it used to be about balance. there's nothing balanced. >> this is balanced. >> it's all taxes now. we can't even begin to talk about -- hold on, van. >> we can -- >> hold on. van, van, hold on. you don't get to interrupt all the time. the president used to say we need a balanced plan that includes taxes and spending. now they're saying we can't talk about spending until we have taxes. that's a change in position. that's one of the reasons the mood in washington is so bad. the president has the leverage, he's got the upper hand, but he's also poisoning the well. >> the final thought from you, van, and then we have to go. >> i think the president is taking a balanced approach. we are talking about spending cuts. the problem i think we ha

we know there's a national security meeting going on, the president, the vice president, the defense minister are in a room trying to figure out that question whether or not it was a success. but i think this would have taken the president and many of the officials by surprise considering just two days ago north korea said it was having technical issues. so i don't think anybody within south korea really expected this launch to happen so soon. especially when you consider they actually extended their launch window. they said their launch window would go until the 29th of december just to give themselves a about it more time, then suddenly they launched it this morning. this would have taken many officials by surprise. anderson. >> when it's launched, where is it -- i mean -- pointed toward? is it supposed to just go out to sea? >> well, it's basically launched from the west coast of the country, the, so ohei launch station. but trajectory, if it's a success and stays on that flight path it's supposed to, would be over open water. it wouldn't be actually traveling over any territory a
